missys our LO does that as well but between 2:30-3:30ish! Every night i think he's caught a bad cold and a couple of hours later he's fine again. We've been raising the head of his crib which helps a bit. I'm thinking of getting the chicco cosleeper because you can adjust the height of each end separately, just to sort him out!
Hair pats and hugs for everyone with overbearing IL's-mine are generally pretty good but they invited us over for dinner on Sunday-to see LO, of course. I said I didn't want DH's aunt and uncle there bc his cousin has been sick for 10 days so now his grandfather is coming over which is slightly annoying.
We had DD's 2 week appointment today and we are 9 lbs which the doc was happy about. But we have thrush which I am not happy about.
cougarette, the doc said today they look for them to gain an ounce a day. Sounds like LO is a growing babe
My fMIL is such a sweetheart I couldn't ever see having problems with her. It's my mom that's the overbearing one. Most days I'm desperate for the help so I don't mind her stepping in but pretty much everything that PP have complained about their MIL doing, that's my mom. She'll constantly be like oh well you can do (whatever) and leave the baby with me. DD's have a preschool field trip to the camel farm and my mom asked me if I wanted to go and leave the baby with her. Uhm, no mom if anything I'll take the baby with me but it's not required that I go.
We are in the midst of a surprise family visit! DH's oldest brother and his family have come down for a long weekend to chill out and also see us! It makes me feel a lot better about things in general.
G has decided to be hungry every half hour and is driving me insane since I can't eat or drink. However, we're reading 'Guards, Guards' during nursing sessions in memory of Terry Pratchett (taking a break from '1000 Years of Annoying the French').
Apart from that, things are good. We will definitely be moving apartments again sometime in the next 6 weeks to something a little less temporary while we see if our place will be fixed on the quicker side of the 6-9 months. If not, we'll likely move into a new place altogether.

mrszee sorry to hear you have thrush!!! We just got over it here (hopefully). I put white vinegar on my breast pads which helped a lot on top of all the medicines. There's stains all over everything now from that icky sticky yellow paste!
pitdigger A love tit for Terry Pratchett. He will be missed.
My parents and youngest sister drove 3h today to see LO. It was great having them here, they even cooked us lunch and everything. My mother could not take her eyes of DD and was on the brink of crying more than one time... I guess that's what the first grandchild does to you.
GTKY: I got a lot more sleep on weekends pre-baby (I'm a night owl and love to sleep in) but this weekend will be our first since DD was born so we'll see how it goes. I'm not counting on getting much sleep.
mels823, I will keep your little lady in my thoughts and prayers that things continue to improve and no treatment is needed!
I washed, blowdryed, and straightened my hair and put on makeup and not-sweatpants this morning and I look not-so-horrible (at least I don't look like I'm going to mug anyone, which is a great improvement over my recent look during the past couple of weeks).
I think my #momfail for the day is that I'm just now picking up my birth announcements to mail out (LO turned 1 month old on Wednesday). Oops.
I think you have 6 months to send birth announcements out, so you are ahead of the game!
Ooh, I had no idea. Now I don't feel so slacker-ish. Thanks!
We've been potty training DD1 and she finally pooped in the potty (twice!) yesterday after school. She then pooped the bed this morning. Thanks DH, for dealing with that while I slept. I wonder how much poop she had been holding in?
Haha, weird timing. My DD pooped on the potty for the first time this morning! Congrats to your LO!

Can you tell me just a little about thrush? DD has a white tongue and I'm wondering if it's thrush or just milk...

The doc said if you take a q-tip and can rub some of the white off of their tongue it is just milk, if it doesn't come off it is thrush. That said, I thought we had it bc when DD was on my left side it feels like they are pulling glass out of your boob for the past couple of days-it hurts a lot and goes back behind the nipple now I hope you don't have it, this is not fun!!

So does anyone else's LO have a tummy that is constantly rumbling with air? DDs is rumbly all the time. We do gripe water and gas dropr that seem to help but i just feel bad. She seems in pain. Especially at night. Diapers are Normal if infrequent. Yellow seedy. Normal? It's there anything i can do? Could it be foods I'm eating? We supplement with just a little formula but 80% BF.
So...my 3 week old can roll tummy to back consistently. I'm very impressed. Her sister didn't until she was 9 months ish. Ha!
Oh well done!!! I'm freaking out because LO started rolling on to his side but hasn't gone further or rolled back on to his back. Consistency would be great!!!

I officially bought DS his first pair of shoes. I know that they are completely pointless but they were just so darn cute. He's going to look so good in his Easter outfit.
Omg. My patience with MIL is wearing very thin. She is constantly jumping in trying to soothe DD when she is fussy. She was crying in her crib so I got up to go get her and MIL jumps up and was like, I will hold her and calm her. I'm like, nooooo my kid, I will calm her. She has done this like 3 times in less than 24 hours now!!
Seriously do they forget we are the ones that carried and birthed these babies? Has she just stood over her for a ridiculous amount of time yet? That shit really gets on my nerves.
Standing over her while using an annoying baby voice. Ugh!
